UN nuclear agency head Rafael Grossi said he will visit Russia's Kursk nuclear power plant on August 26, weeks after Ukraine launched a surprise counteroffensive in the region. "Given the serious situation, I’m personally leading tomorrow’s IAEA mission to the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in Russia," he said in a post on X. The International Atomic Energy Agency has urged both Russia and Ukraine to exercise "maximum restraint" to "avoid a nuclear accident with the potential for serious radiological consequences" as fighting nears the plant.
